De Martino

Maipo Valley, Chile

Since the founding of our winery in 1934, we have worked to achieve wines that represent us as a family, a promise we have maintained until today. During our 80-year history, we have fulfilled our com- mitment to creating wines that reflect their origin, respecting the characteristics imprinted on them by the area from which they come. The style that represents us, and that we enjoy drinking, is one that blends origin, personality, balance and gastronomic sensibilities.

In order to achieve this type of wine, over the years we have explored over 347 vineyards all across Chile, encompassing almost the entire territory: from the north to the south and from the Andes Mountain Range to the coast. In this way we have chosen the origins that best represent our winemaking philosophy.

Our principles are based on organic farming and early harvesting (in the Chilean context), with the goal of achieving balanced alco- hol levels. Our fermentation are carried out exclusively with native yeasts, rendering unnecessary winemaking additives that can alter the resulting wine. Finally, aging is carried out in concrete or stain- less steel containers, old barrels, large oak foudres (5,000 liters each) or ancestral terracotta amphorae. All of these are used in the hopes of limiting external influences on the aromas and flavors of our wines, thereby allowing the quality of each origin to fully express itself.
